Anyone else building old dodge/plymouth other mopars?

Here is par of another post I made to Dave in another thread. It lists lots of folks who offer parts for the old Mopars. Need to mention as well that FatMan's has dropped spindles as well.

There are several places that carry the parts to rebuild the stock fron suspension.

Roberts http://www.robertsmotorparts.com/index.html
Bernbaum http://www.oldmoparts.com/
Rock Auto http://www.rockauto.com/
NAPA, Autozone, Kanter and others.

As for the Rack and Pinion, I know that FatMans and PlyDo both carry these kits.

You can get disc brake kits from Olddaddy http://www.rustyhope.com/index.html or Scarebird here on the HAMB or ECI and PlyDo. Or follow this link to put together your own http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=356710

Shock relocation is a pretty straight forward job and will make a big improvement in ride quality. Olddaddy sells the brackets for this or you can fab your own pretty easy http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...th+shock+mount

While this article is specifically about a 51 Plymouth Suburban front end rebuild it all pretty much applies to our 48's as well

-36 Dodge coupe 40s style taildragger in my garage:

 

I'm working on a 33 Dodge coupe and collecting parts for 46 Dodge truck and a 37 Plymouth sedan.
I have a 327csb in the coupe.

 

My avatar was my 46 I built. I paid 200 for the starter truck, so you know what all I got. Built it, sold it. On to the next. Bought 2 cars in the last 2 weeks. A 69 GS 400 Convertible and a 30/31 model A. Peer into Youtube, "46 dodge" for 2 cool burnout vids.

 

I am working on a 47 dodge pu. Started it in sep. 350,700r4 trans. Chop 3 1/2" hope to have it done soon.

 

working on 54 chrysler, frenched the headlights shaved the door handles, stripped all the crome and welded the holes shut, now thinking about what grille to put in,along with trying to smooth the rear quarters were the crome was

 

Working on a 51 Plymouth Cranbrook. Just starting tho...

 

54 Chrysler grilles look good on those cars .

 

Great info................

 

Here is my 30 Dodge DD6 Business Coupe I just took it to the shop yesterday! I will have a complete original drivetrain for sale if anyone is interested. I have Hemi stuff for sale just do an advanced search for dirty30dodge. I need that money for all the build expenses. Ouch! Thanks I am putting a 331 Hemi/700r4 and a used halibrand champ! a 51 ford straight axle in front with discs all around. Hoping to keep it more 50's 60's style! Traditional I hope If I can sell more stuff will chop the top about 4-5 inches. Lots of work but always worth it! My first 30's car so its going to be a challenge! Thanks HAMBERS!

I should delete my previous post as I'm not running a volare front. now its a frame clip from a 88 dakota.. and i found out with a little modifications the motor and trans mounts are gonna be a cake walk

 

My brother is building this '27 (?) Chrysler.

 

I have a buddy that is building this. It's a 32 dodge dk 122" wheel base. Blown 392 hemi. Full fender-ed but no hood with a 31 grill.

 

Wow this is an old thread.


Here's my old 34 Dodge

Here my latest project . 33 Dodge

 

did anybody notice,,,, this thread started in 2003??? and is still running...interesting.......

 

And 10 minutes after registering for the site, I went through all 38 pages of it. Great stuff.

I was a little disappointed to see not too many of one of my dream projects, a 1940 DeSoto or Plymouth 4 door. I found one or two, but not nearly as many as I'd hoped.

But anyway, great work. Here's to another 6 years of posts!

 

Heres a link to a thread I just started about my wifes new car - 37 Dodge coupe.

I also have the 59 Dodge custom Royal Lancer in my avator pic. I have owned it since 1991 and am planning to get back on it next year or earlier if possible. It hasn't been on the road now sinceabout 2001 and thats waaaaay too long.
It has a 51/2 inch chop with the roof being replaced with one from a 57 or 59 plymouth. It was a four door but I 2 doored it several years ago. It runs a 429 ford backed up with a c6.

Here is my 41 Plymouth coupe. Torn down now, cut the front off and mocking up the 392. Build thread starting feb.

 

Sheet mopar and buford is all I knows!!!!

 

Does a Mopar drive train in an old jeep count?

 

Heres a couple of pics of my mopars, the 1940 Dodge Sedan I've had since 1971, its an Oz built car using Plymouth chassis,fenders,hood,etc with Dodge grille & moldings, its been rodded since 1973, 318 Poly,auto,4 wheel discs,rack&pinion,etc all work by me.....the 1941 Plymouth Coupe I've had since 2007, its a factory RHD built car from Sth Africa, an older restoration(paint & trim), I've lowered it, put the wheels & tyres on, and am building an Edgy headed, twin carbed 230 six with an S10 T5 from the USA to go in it.......Andy Douglas

 

Just picked up a 51 plymouth cranbrook...looking to bring it back from the dead, chop the top, lower it and have some fun

 

my 54 Stude has a 67' Mopar drivetrain 383, 727 tranny, and 8 3/4 rear.

 

Does a '64 318 poly and 727 in a Model A count? And there is the '66 Fury w/383 that is my wife's dailey...

 

My son and i just started a 49 dodge as well, heres the chop so far. Greaserchief

 

29jay, that's a great looking poly. Nice engine that should be used more in projects.
